65 mile round trip. Is lovely welsh countryside. Mostly grandad driving on the way to work mixed with the odd lorry overtake. Bit more fruity on the way home usually, specially if I've been working late. Had the car 3 weeks now, just learning it, UK MY 2000.

Cool

Not the longest....
....but probably the most boring.

28km commute from North of Auckland to central Auckland.
On average 60 mins, average speed 30kmph.
Bad day is 75 mins.

All in start/stop traffic crawling with "Mr Sh*t for Brains" 2 feet off my back bumper, thinking he's a good driver cos he's so close.

Nice on the way back, especially up a steep[ish] hill, just after everybody's turned off the m'way.
Always get a good blast up that bit !!

Thumbs down

170 mile round trip mainly on the M40 so not a huge amount of fun.

Cheers

75 miles there, 75 miles back Monday to Friday. Mainly M40, M25 but (and this is the imnportant bit) the first 13 miles outward(& last 13 on return journey - funny that) are cross country twisty bits.

Costs a fortune but doing the journey in the scooby almost makes it enjoyable
